Baby Name Poll

Names vs. In vs. Comments

Joining my 18 month old son Dexter Joseph, we’re not sure about the gender yet but boys run in my husband’s family so we’re pretty sure it’s going to be a boy. We like uncommon first names and we will definitely be using a family middle name unless of course we find a name that we absolutely fall in love with. If you could look at our list for each gender and pick out some names you like or think would go well with Dexter that would be a great help! Thank you, Dee, John and Dj

Genie's Mailbag

Dear Genie, I need you to help me find a Greek name for a girl. I've already used Theodore and Sebastian for her siblings. But every other Greek girl's name I see is either too pretentious, hard to pronounce, or just too popular now. The only name I can picture using is Caroline, but it's not Greek!

Baby Name Genie:

The Greeks would name her Charissa Zoe. Then, they would stuff her in a wooden horse and give her to the Trojans. So, my advice would be to borrow the name but not the rest of their tactics.
